Pain in both knees

[Canuck Physio]

HI again,

Good to hear.

Please be very specific about your concerns, you must tell them about the situation. If there is patellar mal-tracking then this can be solved with a graded muscle balance program. The problem is that you have been cycling, so the issue may be related to the hip, and that problem may need to be overcome for the balance work to be effective to finally influence the knee.

If all signs and investigations are clear, then there is a strong possibility that you should recover with soft tissue work, strengthing, balancing, and management as well as pain control and activity education such as gait.

Please keep us informed

Hi, have booked in to a physio next tuesday. I'm actually feeling quite hopeful. Have you to thank for that.

In Spain for a couple of months looking after my folks' house so going private! 20euros shouldn't break the bank.

I will tell the physio all about the problem and will be back to tell you! I hope it's not connected to hips as well, though one is more flexible than the other. Have noticed that one foot has started curling round again, tut.

I guess by graded muscle program you mean start gently and work up?

One more request, can you recommend a pain killer? I've tried paracetamol, codeine, iburofen, asprin, even migraine tablets and nothing helps. I'm worried that physio will hurt the first few times.

Thanks!
